76% of Brits support an immediate ceasefire in GazaDespite the leaders of both major parties supporting the invasion and almost none of our media called for a ceasefire.
Well played to the England rugby team.Written off by everyone, including myself, they put in an excellent performance and very nearly sent the much heralded South Africa team out of the tournament. Some of the players I thought should be dropped, like Owen Farrell, were superb. England...See More »

Ethnic cleansing is going on in the West Bank.There is no Hamas in the West Bank. https://novaramedia.com/2023/10/19/a-chance-to-implement-forced-displacement-israeli-settlers-are-attacking-palestinians-in-the-west-bank/
Its ridiculous that England is the only European team left.It's all about the draw being favourable. We did beat Argentina and Fiji. That is not nothing. Yet we a clearly a level below the best four teams in the world.
Excellent arguments as to why we should condemn Israeli actions in Gaza in a hostile media environment. James Schneider is excellent.
What are your predictions for the Rugby World Cup Quater-Finals?The unfairness of the draw sucks but it does have one advantage. Normally a first-seed vs second-seed match is only semi-competitive but this time all the best four teams are playing each other, as are the second-best four teams. Each game is hard to...See More »
All those people who said 'All lives matter,' in response to BLM......none of them seem to think that Palestinian lives matter much. Or at all. Just an observation.
Palestinian death toll rises to 1500.This in a few days of bombs and missiles into civilian areas. This is before the ground offensive starts and before or the health system collapses. Two things that are about to happen. This is likely to result in tens of thousands of deaths and...See More »
England beat Samoa in Rugby by one point.What drama! The rest of the rugby world must be quaking in their boots.
Tory Party Conference.You can all keep eating s**t but that's ok because we have lots of mean things to say about immigrants and trans people.
My politics are far-right and you can ask me anything.However, won't actually answer anything and I will block you. Meh
Should Hunter Biden be US President?I think not. Fair play to the right of SW for persuading me of that.
Liz Truss is writing a book called 'Ten Years to Save the West.'Given what she did to the UK in 49 days, imagine what she could do to the West in ten years. You couldn't make this shit up!

Is there still a hemisphere gap in rugby?So far, this has been a very good rugby WC for the northern hemisphere,. Ireland beat SA, France beat NZ and Wales beat Australia. The Springboks or the All Blacks could still emerge as champions but will have to fight hard to do it. For most of...See More »
Can Ireland win the Rugby WC?I was previously sceptical, not because I don't think they are a good team, but because of the previous litany of failures in this contest and because of the awful draw. They just defied the odds to beat champions South Africa in a low-scoring but...See More »
England RugbyWhat a win! On terrible form against a strong Argentina and a man sent off. Winning with something to spare. Great effort.
Is the western world moving in a far-right direction?I think that it is, slowly away. In my time, I've seen radical parties and radical ideas normalised along with conspiracy theories. Large minorities of people support these ideas and it's become normalised for people (and politicians) in the middle....See More »
Can Vivek Ramaswamy become President?He has charisma, abysmal far-right politics and is a blowhard but is not literally an inmate. He ticks a lot of GOP boxes. Sigh
